The Spotted Flycatcher is a small bird 13 centimeters long. Males are black-and-white, females are brown. It catches insects right in the air.
The Spotted Flycatcher differs from related species by the bright black-and-white color of males and a white spot on the wing. It is beneficial for the forest because it eats many harmful insects.
